Storyline

Fern Hill
is the tale of Colin, his best friends, and the loss of his father. His
father was a pilot and his plane disappeared when Colin was only five years
old. Although there was an investigation, nothing was ever found. Colin
and mother were forced to move on without closure. She remarried an
overbearing man that pushes him too hard. After Colin has a vivid dream
about his Dad, he devises a plan to find him or at least try. He tells his
plan to his three best friends and asks them to join him. His friends
Kenny, Seth, and Bob are going through their problems and are looking for a
get away. After debating all the obstacles and donuts, they innocently
prepare for their journey. They soon find that the least of their concerns
is that they are hiking to Fern Hill in the Colorado Mountains. They face
many other challenges - fear, dark, the woods, wild animals, rain, a lost
map, and the rumored madman Old Man Tyler’s cabin. But the biggest
challenge just might be facing the truths they find out about themselves.

Production background

Fern Hill
was written many years ago by Cole Claassen of
Agape Productions. This may be his debut feature film, but this film is high quality. The cast
is amazing and very talented. Many were local actors from Crested Butte,
Colorado where the film was shot. He was setting out to make this movie
with almost no budget and a crew of friends and family when a friend made a
small investment in the film. Cole says that memories from his own
childhood are where he got the idea for the film. Growing up he had three
adventurous best friends. Also while in high school Claassen experienced
being part of a search and rescue team for a plane crash of a friend and
their family. The poem Fern Hill by Dylan Thomas, about childhood, also
played a part in the story of this film.
